Morpho - Morpho Season (Hit the North)(2024)(EP 45rpm)

 

Kristyn Chapman's musical outlet is Morpho. This Morpho's debut Morpho Season. Truth be told, I saw Kristyn play guitar/keyboards/vocals for Deep Sea Diver recently on their tour. She was fun to watch because she looked like she was having a blast and her guitar work was brilliant. When I finally found out who she was, I immediately purchased this EP. Man, my instincts were spot on. Melodic guitar driven indie rock bordering on shoegaze. Whatever may be the label, Morpho Season is a great debut and the melodies hit hard. Looking forward to Morpho coming out to Southern California. Just listen to Half of Two. Perfect.

Mo Dotti - Blurring/Guided Imagery (2023)(Self Released)(CD)

Just a great slab of dream pop and shoegaze music from this band. This CD is a compilation of two EPs: Blurring (2020) and Guided Imagery (2022). I was blown away the first time I listened to it and the second time around I like it even more! Airy and pretty is how I would describe the music. Always melodic. Female vocals just give it that extra dreamy quality. Mo Dotti is on Bandcamp. Check out Glow in the Dark. Tremendous.
